Second Grade: SOL 2.2 American Indians

American Indians have lived in Virginia and in other regions of America for thousands of years. American Indians developed cultures because they lived in different environments of North America. The following resources will help you compare and contrast the Powhatan of the Eastern Woodlands, the Lakota/Dakota of the Plains, and the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest.


***The second grade students at Kaechele have been chosen to explore unknown territories in the west. Using your field journal you will write about your experiences as you travel west and meet new people. Who will you meet? What traditions will you see? How are they dressed? What food did are they eating? What do their homes look like? How is there life different than yours? What similarities do you see?
